lyrics

Pray to The Great Gesticulator.
Pray your loudest, or you...
Pray to The Great Gesticulator, or you...

Will find yourself,
At the bottom of The Ravine.
Remember when you were last here.

How many matches does it take to burn a Bank?
Just one.
How many matches does it take?
Just one.
To burn His bloody temple.

But how many Banks does it take to burn the world?
Set fire to the root of the problem.

Nice try!
There are a million more standing,
Robbing,
The poor,
The sick,
The hungry.
Set fire to the root of the problem.

Pray to The Great Gesticulator, or you...

Will find yourself,
At the top of The List.

Bow down or get out.
There is only room for
Worship here.

Remember to pay The Great Gesticulator.

Clément Belio is on the cutting edge of progressive fusion - hard to accurately describe because he draws on so many influences and combines them in such innovative ways. Deidre House
